"- YouTube formally announced the "raise authoritative voices" recommendation policy in 2017 and expanded it through 2018–2020. Per YouTube's own blog posts (notably the January 2019 "Continuing our work to improve recommendations on YouTube" announcement and the 2020 elections-support post), the platform commits to surfacing "authoritative" news sources — explicitly named examples have included CNN, Fox News, and The Guardian — at the top of search results, in "Up Next" panels, and on the homepage for news and breaking-news queries. YouTube stated in 2020 that consumption from authoritative news partners' channels had grown 60% year-over-year as a result."

How this quote is verified

Every quote on canopticon is a literal substring of a stored source document. Whitespace differences are tolerated; word substitutions are not. The original file is preserved in object storage at upload time; this quote is a span inside the text extracted from it.

The check is mechanical, not vouched for. It runs when the quote is extracted, and again every time the document's own page is rendered: the span is located in the document afresh, and if it can no longer be found, nothing is linked — the page will not point at text that is not there.

The position recorded above is relative to the window the extractor read, not to the whole document, and it is a character count rather than a byte count. It is kept because it is what was measured; it is not a citable coordinate, and this page would rather say so than imply a precision it does not have.
